In addition to updated single 5015 and OEM 4010 fan ducts, I modified Kelokera's ducts to support dual 5015 fans. The EZABL and BLTouch attachment mounts have also been modified to fit with these dual fans.

There are three parts cooling ducts to choose from: OEM 4010 fan, Single 5015 fan and Dual 5015 fan mount. The X carriage base is greatly improved (see updates below), but completely compatible with the original design

The dual 5015 fan ducts are configured to have each fan cool one side of the part. Each air channel is short and direct. There is no air crossing the middle bar that keeps them aligned. The Dual 5015 duct has excellent visibility of the hot-end.

For mounting this system reuses existing screws from the stock setup, depending on your choices, you may need additional nuts and bolts (see mounting instructions below).

Added photos of sample prints to show what is possible when you have your printer reasonably dialed in.

Note that I have not tested any of these compatible options listed in the collection at this time. There are others out there that I have not added, only because they are derivatives of older versions of Kelokera's or my remix parts and may not perform as well as what is available in this Gen 2 series.

For Dial clip mount and OEM hot-end:
OEM 4010 fan or single 5015 duct: Use -51 X and -9 Y

For Dial bolt mount and OEM hot-end:
OEM 4010 fan or single 5015 duct: Use -50 X and -5 Y

Parts Cooling Duct Height Placement
When the hot-end nozzle is touching the build plate, the bottom of the part cooling duct should be between 1mm and 2mm above the build plate (depending on your hot-end and nozzle shape/size). You want the ducts to be blowing air at the base of the nozzle.The lower the better, but not so low as to catch on the parts. I set mine to about 1.2mm - 1.4mm above the bed. There are some duct leveling helpers included with one of the remixes here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3481256

Update May 12th: Added EZABL Mini mount for use with single fan part cooling ducts.
Offsets are -41 X and -6 Y
Added EZABL Mini mount for use with dual fan part cooling ducts.
Offsets are -47 X and -6 Y
Updated the Hero Me base for the Ender 5. Improved the fit for the left side belt mount slot. Made it easier to slide the base over the hot-end.

Update April 30th: Updated OEM single 4010 part cooling duct to have a wider gap for the mount tabs on the fan body.

Update March 3rd: Updated the OEM 4010 part cooling duct to have the same enlarged fang tips to increase air flow and angled the direction to move the turbulence away from the nozzle tip.

Update 2 March 2nd: Updated the OEM 4010 part cooling duct to have more room so as not to hit the wheel nut for those who have a longer hot-end and need to use the lowest hole mount position.

Update March 2nd: Added updated version of Teaching Techs remix of the Hero Me Base for use with the DDE3 Direct Drive mount from Basaraba Innovations. He had made his remix from an older Hero Me base. This is his remix updated with the changes to the base since then. File is called: DD_E3_Hero_Me_Base_Gen2.stl.

Update Feb 24th: Significant update to the Single and Dual 5015 ducts and Dual 4020 part cooling duct to increase air flow and angled the direction to move the turbulence away from the nozzle tip. This will allow more cooling air to flow across the nozzle tip faster. Modified the Hero Me Base to have room for the heat sink screws that have added washers.

Update Feb 20th 2019: Updated the single OEM 4010 part cooling duct to have more clearance at the back to not hit the bolt for the lower wheel on the X gantry.

Update Feb 15th 2019: Added version of the Hero Me Base for use on Ender 5 printers. Mod supplied by Jonlammers. Hero Me Base Gen2c - Ender 5.stl The Ender 5 has a wider X gantry and a slot where the clip to wrap around to the back is. Turned the C clip into a T clip to work for the Ender 5. While this is backward compatible, this does not replace the primary Base for CR-10/S or Ender 2/3/Pro printers.

Update Feb 11th 2019: Added a Single 5020 radial fan duct to the group by request.

Update Feb. 2nd 2019: Updated the Hero Me Base to work with the updated Creality X gantry mounting plate, trimmed 2mm off the bottom of the back clip that wraps around the mount plate. This new Base is fully backward compatible with older mount plates. Also updated the Touch-mi mount for dual 4020 duct to allow access to mount duct screw, also moved the Touch-mi mount away from the X gantry by 1.2mm to help clear the X pulley box.

Update Jan. 29th 2019: Corrected slicing issues with the cooling ducts, you want versions that end in Gen2c.stl or Gen2d.stl.

Update Jan. 28th 2019: Corrected a blockage in the single 5015 duct when sliced with S3D. Updated the OEM 4010 fan duct to not hit the X gantry plate.

Update Jan. 27th 2019: Updated the base to have a stronger wire retaining tower without losing space for the hot-end wires. Added additional mount holes to the base to give more flexibility in the height of the cooling duct. Corrected 3 duct STL files that reported mesh errors (prior ones still printed fine via Cura and S3D). Mesh corrected versions have Gen2b in the filename, all others did not have issues. I do not recommend using Silc3r, for some reason it has issue with many parts, where none of the other slicers do.

Update Jan. 26th 2019: Added a Touch-mi and EZABL mounts for use with the new Dual 4020 fan duct. These are the first of the ABL mounts to be adapted for the wider duct. The others will be coming soon.

Update Jan. 25th 2019: Added a Dual 4020 blower radial fan duct has been posted. There are no ABL options for this prototype duct at this time. There are different mount types for 4020 boxer fans. The current prototype is for those with the shorter 15mm wide mount wings (for M3 bolts). Before slicing, orient the front face of the duct to be down flat on the build plate. As with the other ducts, use supports from build plate only.

Update Jan. 24th 2019: Added two dial sensor mounts. One uses an M3 bolt and nut, the other is a simple pressure clip mount. These are only for the OEM 4010 and Single 5015 fan mounts at this time. These two dial mounts are not yet tested, they may interfere with the X end-stop.

Update Jan. 23rd 2019: Reinforced the dual 5015 duct's fan mount points, reduced the file complexity (file size dropped from 22MB to just 1.2MB) while improving the quality, and also made it easier to print. Corrected the back left duct to not hit the X-Gantry lower wheel nut.

Update Jan. 21st 2019: Reinforced the single 5015 duct's fan mount point and also made it easier to print. Corrected the back left duct to not hit the X-Gantry lower wheel nut.

Update Jan. 19th 2019:
BLTouch adjustable wing mount (dual 5015 fans)
Corrected issue that caused mount to prevent X gantry from touching the X end-stop. If you are using the BLTouch for dual 5015 cooling fans and have this issue, reprint both the wing and the mount. This does not change the firmware offset.

Update Jan. 14th 2019: Hero Me Gen 2.

This update has refinements across most all of the parts. Parts with 'Gen2' in the filename are this second generation. Parts without 'Gen2' have not changed, but are fully compatible with the this second generation.
